I'm a French junior system/software engineer, currently working as Linux Platform Developer for [http://www.network-box.com.hk/ a managed security services company] in Hong-Kong.

I also am a Novell CLP and a RHCE.

+

+

I've been using Fedora since Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux, what a wonderful name :-). Since then, I've been an active member in the [[:Category:French_team|French community]].

+

+

[[User:Melmorabity|Mohamed Elmorabity]] and I co-founded the [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/fedora-paris Fedora&nbsp;|&nbsp;Paris] project. What we do is gather the Fedoristas who live in Paris and have diner more or less every 2 weeks, and more if the night goes on. Of course, we all already know each other on IRC or on the [http://forums.fedora-fr.org forums], so those meetings are more a way to know the non-geek-side of each other, and build [http://www.nalley.sc/david/?p=59 friendship] inside our community. The subjects of conversation can be geared towards Fedora but it is not mandatory. We are not a LUG, Fedora is merely what brought us together. Put in other words, [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/fedora-paris Fedora&nbsp;|&nbsp;Paris] aims at seeing what lays beyond the geeky mask. [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/fedora-paris Fedora&nbsp;|&nbsp;Paris] is also responsible of providing the restaurants and after parties for the Fedora Community regarding events organized in Paris. As a result, we are proud to count [[User:Mspevack|Max Spevack]] and [[User:Ynemoy|Yaakov Nemoy]] as international guests (as well as the French community members who don't live in Paris but gave us a visit).

+

+

I maintain [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/bochecha some packages] both in Fedora and EPEL.

+

+

Under pressure (and guidance) from [[User:Mrtom|Thomas Canniot]], I became a [[Ambassadors|Fedora Ambassador]] in June 2008.

+

+

I have been an Ambassador mentor from March 2012 when [[User:Jsimon|Joerg Simon]] appointed me as one, to March 2012.

+

+

I have been the assistant secretary of the [http://asso.fedora-fr.org Fedora-Fr NPO] from 2009 to 2011.

=== Development ===

+

+

Apart from minor contributions to several projects, I am a core contributor to the following projects.

+

+

==== Shomyu ====

+

I initiated [http://fedorahosted.org/shomyu Shomyu]. The goal is to provide a web application for members of a community to locate themselves and add a short description about them.

+

+

Shomyu was born after frustration from not being able / wanting to use the proprietary Frappr service that [http://www.fedora-fr.org Fedora-Fr] was using at this time. Let's hope Shomyu can replace it if it ever gets in a working enough shape.

+

+

Unfortunately, due to a lack of time, this project is on hold for now.

+

+

==== PyF ====

+

I also contribute to the [http://pyfproject.org PyF framework]. PyF is a pure Python framework for building flow-based applications, that is applications that can handle '''lots''' of data without ever loading more than one item in memory at a time, thus being highly scalable.

+

+

PyF was mostly part of my previous work though, so even if I maintain good relationships with the community, I haven't done any contribution ever since I moved to Hong Kong.

Fedora

I've been using Fedora since Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux, what a wonderful name :-). Since then, I've been an active member in the French community.

Mohamed Elmorabity and I co-founded the Fedora | Paris project. What we do is gather the Fedoristas who live in Paris and have diner more or less every 2 weeks, and more if the night goes on. Of course, we all already know each other on IRC or on the forums, so those meetings are more a way to know the non-geek-side of each other, and build friendship inside our community.
